We want your Direct Care practice to be wildly successful. We mean that. Why are we so passionate about your business? Because we know what the spread of Direct Care means for the healthcare industry, and it’s something we work toward every single day. Better, more proactive patient care, doctors and providers who love their jobs again, and no interference from third parties who only hinder that care. The truth is, when you succeed, we all win.
So whether you’re transitioning from a traditional practice or starting from scratch, you probably have some questions. We’re here to help you and we don’t believe you should have to pay for doing your homework. That’s why we offer all our consulting (and everything that comes with it) for free. Zero cost to you. After all, you’re already doing the work of starting your DPC practice – you shouldn’t be penalized for doing it right.
